The Physics of Ferromagnetism: 158 (Springer Series in Materials Science) - Softcover

With a special focus on NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics, this volume summarizes new developments in ferromagnetism research as well as covering the basic physics of ferromagnetism such as exchange coupling.

This book covers both basic physics of ferromagnetism such as magnetic moment, exchange coupling, magnetic anisotropy and recent progress in advanced ferromagnetic materials. Special interests are focused on NdFeB permanent magnets and the materials studied in the field of spintronics. In the latter, development of tunnel magnetoresistance effect through so called giant magnetoresistance effect is explained.
